“New York—I can take it or leave it,” said photographer William Klein, who in his 60-year career has managed to do both. After growing up in Manhattan, he left for Europe in the wake of World War II, only to return again in 1954 to shoot one of the most celebrated photography books of all time.

Now, more than a half-century later, he is back again with a new volume, “Brooklyn + Klein,” and an exhibition at Howard Greenberg Gallery on East 57th Street.
